Pei Che frowned slightly and said in a calm voice: "You are drunk."
Jiang Shiyuan sat up straight and shook his head like a rattle, "No, I didn't drink. How could I drink on such an important day when our two families meet today?"
Jiang Shiyuan felt that this answer was not enough to show his dignity, so he quickly pretended to be obedient, folded his hands in front of him, and said, "No, no, I don't drink alcohol at all, really."
Pei Che looked at her shaky sitting posture and laughed angrily.
"There is no Pei Ziye today, only me."
"Only my uncle?" Jiang Shiyuan thought about it seriously and suddenly realized.
"Oh~~ Uncle is here to act as a matchmaker for us, right?"
Pei Che's temple twitched suddenly, but at this moment, the culprit was still unaware. He stood up and staggered to the position next to him, pulling his sleeve and shaking it pitifully.
"Master..."
Pei Che's breathing stagnated, and he lowered his eyes to look at the sleeve that she was pulling, and his expression eased a little.
She called him Master.
I don’t know how drunk I was.
It's also his fault for not keeping a close eye on it.
Pei Che sighed, "What's the matter?"
After receiving the response, Jiang Shiyuan immediately climbed up Pei Che's arm like a cat, put his little face close to Pei Che, and whispered in a negotiating tone:
"Master, after I marry Pei Ziye, if Pei Ziye bullies me, will you protect me a little?"
Pei Che's face darkened, and he squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "No."
Jiang Shiyuan's expression froze. Was he rejected?
When the Master looked at me just now, he was obviously very gentle.
"Why?"
Does he still hate her as much?
Jiang Shiyuan lowered his head, and tears suddenly welled up in his eyes.
"Because I am the one who married you."
Pei Che answered clearly, word by word.
The words hit Jiang Shiyuan's ears like thunder and lightning. The tears in her eyes stopped for a moment, and her expression seemed to be frozen on her face. Then, her already red cheeks burned to her ears like a wildfire.
Pei Che: "Remember?"
Jiang Shiyuan lowered his head, withdrew his hand, climbed down from Pei Che, and nodded shyly.
The impact was too strong, and Jiang Shiyuan's originally chaotic mind regained a little clarity, but was soon invaded by endless shame and anger. She didn't dare to look at Pei Che again, and she just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, and her hand subconsciously touched the wine glass again.
She was drunk, she didn't know anything, it wasn't her, it had nothing to do with her.
As a result, the hand that had just been stretched out was grabbed by Pei Che on the spot.
"The jug is empty. There's no more wine."
Pei Che's tone was obviously unhappy, so obvious that even Jiang Shiyuan, who was not in a clear mind, could sense it.
Jiang Shiyuan felt a burning sensation in his stomach, and like a child who had made a mistake, he whispered, "It's too spicy."
Pei Che then noticed that Jiang Shiyuan was holding her belly. Her lips were unusually rosy, not the color of rouge that girls usually wear.
Pei Che sighed lightly and turned to make tea: "You can't eat spicy food, why do you come here?" He never refused anyone who came.
"I was just talking nonsense. This was the only thing that came to my mind at the time." Jiang Shiyuan looked at Pei Che's back and said with some annoyance, "I was too nervous."
"I don't know why, but I get nervous when I see the Master."
She whispered, her voice low and seemed to contain some grievance.
The hand that was brewing tea suddenly stopped. Pei Che looked at the tea leaves rolling in the teacup and said casually, "Do you do this to others as well?"
Jiang Shiyuan shook his head vigorously and clarified eagerly, even wanting to raise his hand and swear on the spot.
"No, only to the Master."
"Yeah?"
Pei Che turned his back to Jiang Shiyuan and chuckled.
The drunken confusion and the burning sensation in her stomach made Jiang Shiyuan unable to concentrate. She didn't know what she was doing. She just answered whatever the other person asked, just like when she was in the school, she answered whatever Master Pei asked.
She regretted it.
She wants to be a good student.
In this way, Master Pei, Mr. Pei would not hate her so much.
She heard that as soon as she finished speaking, Master Pei opposite her laughed.
What are you laughing at, Master?
Laughing, is she lying again?
Yes, she lied again.
Jiang Shiyuan reached out again, climbed onto Pei Che's arm, and leaned over.
Although there was no incense, the unique fragrance of the girl instantly entered his nose. Pei Che lowered his eyes, and Jiang Shiyuan also raised his eyes and looked at him.
"Actually, it's not all nonsense. The first place the Grand Tutor went to when he entered the government was in Shu."
"I think the Master will like this place."
Jiang Shiyuan looked at him intently, with no concealment of expectation in his eyes.
"Does Master like it?"
…
The second floor of Tianxiangju.
"Lü Chu, you stay here, and be sure to tell me if you see anyone."
Mrs. Zhou accidentally fell and injured herself, and asked someone to call Zhou Jingshen back urgently. Zhou Jingshen was thinking about the 'Mrs. Taifu' upstairs, and before leaving, he did not forget to ask Shen Luchu to squat and wait.
Shen Luchu just felt speechless and didn't take it to heart at all.
The room became quiet. Shen Luchu looked at the table full of delicacies without any appetite. All he could think of was Jiang Shiyuan's shadow.
What is Jiang Shiyuan doing now?
Will she like the food here?
Chen Luchu was suddenly shocked by his own thoughts. This was the first time that he was so curious about Jiang Shiyuan's preferences.
She would probably like it very much.
She always showed great interest in the things he liked, even if they were things he mentioned casually.
She had always wanted to be part of his life.
If he brought her here, she would cry with joy.
He decided that when Jiang Shiyuan recovered from her illness, he would bring her here for dinner.
“Pah—”
As if he had made an important decision, Shen Luchu put down his wine glass heavily, stood up excitedly and walked out.
He reached the stairs and was about to go down when he suddenly heard footsteps above his head.
Shen Luchu looked up and saw a man coming down from the third floor with someone in his arms.
It has to be Master Pei.
Shen Luchu was stunned for a moment, his eyes roaming around Pei Che's arms, but the person in Pei Che's arms was wrapped in an outer robe and held tightly in someone's arms, so he couldn't even see a hair, let alone his true face.
Is this Pei Che's wife?
You're protecting her so closely that you've even lost your usual cool demeanor?
Oh!
Shen Luchu sneered in his heart.
To be exact, he thought Pei Che was ridiculous.
He didn't know why he was so unconvinced by Pei Che. In fact, Pei Che taught at Luming Academy for half a decade ago, so he could be considered half his teacher.
But every time Chen Luchu saw Pei Che, he was filled with anger, a desire to defeat him and to trample him under his feet.
When did this energy start?
Shen Luchu thought about it and decided it was three days ago.
Three years ago, he held a plum blossom viewing banquet in his house and invited all the young talents in the capital, including Pei Che.
Pei Che came late and not only did he not say anything, he also made unwarranted judgments about him.
Shen Luchu remembered that day when Pei Che accused him for no reason.
'I wish to be better to Jiang Shi. Her liking for you is your honor, not a capital for you to trample on her wantonly. Pei Che said so at that time.
Although Pei Che was in a high position and had great power, it was not his place to interfere in his private life.
You act so high and mighty every day, but now you lose your mind when it comes to women, don't you?
If this isn't ridiculous, what is?
Just as Shen Lvchu sneered in his heart, Pei Che had already come to him with someone in his arms. At this moment, there was a click -
A purse embroidered with dogwood branches fell out of Pei Che's arms and rolled to Shen Luchu's feet.
